Soon God will swallow up death forever (Isaiah 25:8). In the meantime may you take comfort in the hope that there is going to be a resurrection of the dead and you will see your dear loved one again. Until then may the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your heart and mind by means of Christ Jesus (philippians 4:7)

Sorry for loss of a dear family member and friend. Losing a loved in death can be almost unbearable. But the God of comfort is always there for you. Psalm 34:18 says, "18 Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." God always wants and will rid the earth of death and wickedness. When and how will he do this? Look up Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:3,4 in your copy of the Bible for the answer. I hope it can be a great source of encouragement during this distressing time as it was for me.

My heart goes out to your family. I am so sorry that you are going through this difficult time. Psalms 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress. And remember that God hates it when one of His children dies (Matthew 18:14, 1 Corinthians 15:26). So He makes Himself available in order to comfort us. In fact, 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 refers to Him as the "God of all comfort". Pray to Him for strength to get through this most difficult time. Weep to Him when the words just won't come out. He will really help you (Isaiah 41:10) because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). And please, call upon His name found at Psalm 83:18. www.JW.org
